Cruising to work had the tunes cranked at about 5-6 and just like that right speaker goes silent then a few seconds later the left starts crackling and looses volume but not completely. At first I thought it was the amp or LL and honestly was hoping it was as they are both still under warranty. Bought the speakers new from a forum member so no warranty.

System is JL MX500/4 LL and ARC Motos. It sounded awesome for the last10 months, they just went without any indication at all. No distortion.Thought the ARC's could handle lots of power. Ive had them louder before with no issues.

So what would everyone recommend as .a comparable replacement sound wise?

 

Have you opened it up yet to make sure there's no wires or RCA's loose???

 

Yes sir, disconnected the speakers and wired in the stockers ( at low volume ) and they sounded fine.

 

That's very odd that they'd both go at the same time.

 

were they purchased from an Authorized ARC Audio Dealer and how long have you had them?

I hope you bought them authorized. Buying Arc Audio grey market is a terrible idea.

 

Im with SBates08, that's way strange for both to go out like that. I know you checked, but i'd double check myself. I would probably check amp output.

I will say I've had really good results and luck with my Hertz HCX 165's. 2 years in with no hiccups or issues and cheaper than Arc Motos.

 

you might consider testing each speaker with an ohm meter, and see if the have a reading or just read open circuit. where did you buy them? the reason i ask is if you bought them from an authorized dealer, you might get some support from ARC, they have always been pretty easy for me to deal with.

Go back to the OP's 1st post and read it please. My mom always told me there's a reason we have 2 ears and only 1 mouth. Lol

 

DSM,
why do you want to spank me? i'm only human and miss things from time to time too, the important part of the post was testing the speaker. i NOW know there is no warranty, but i was just trying to help, not to bash.
